I know that's an odd question. But I'm rebuilding my transmission with a custom gearset from Down Under, and with the differential and mainshaft installed, the bolts on the differential final gear are practically touching the main 1st gear. So I'm looking to replace the bolts with ones that have...

Well it just finally dawned on me that I am thinking about this incorrectly. I would for sure need to have (or know the exact length measurement of) the gauging cylinder #J34290-2. The reason why I can't just use any tube of the correct diameter is because the bridge has to be flipped over...

I'm in the middle of rebuilding my Nissan transmission and the service manual calls for the use of a specific Kent Moore tool to measure for the mainshaft bearing/preload. It calls for Kent Moore kit # J34290 (sometimes written as J-34290 I've found). It looks like this is actually a kit that...

I purposely seek out MOOG for my cars (Hondas and Nissans) specifically because they have the zerk fittings. I don't know what kind of car you have, but on my Civic tie rod ends for example, there is simply no part of it that could "burst". What would typically be the boot is merely a "cap" of...

So the steel plates don't tend to move with the race deck there? I wonder if I could just put some of that "anti-fatigue" foam type faux steel plate looking stuff under my whole setup, then put the steel plates under the wheels but above the foam. I may look into that this weekend. Very cool...

BTW - really dig your first gen CRX. I've got an 89 Civic hatch myself and the above picture is my brother's 85 Civic 1500 S. He's also got two 79 Civics and even an N600. All will be getting "upgraded" powerplants at some point :rocker: And not to threadjack but like the other poster said, hat...

I'm not a professional but have been doing almost all my own car work for ~15 years now ever since I started driving. All self-taught, although one could say I had the "gene" as my dad was an ASE master tech and big time car guy and had his own shop/business for 30+ years so my brother and I...

My brother and I were in our buddy's wedding a few years back. He got us Swiss army knives with our initials engraved on them. I still find myself using mine regularly. What about something like a Leatherman tool and have it engraved?

Nobody knows how to do anything until they ask questions and learn. That is exactly why I came here because I am not skilled in this area. So this forum helps me figure out exactly how to do it - electrician confirms on-site that is exactly how to do it. You feel that means I'm still incapable...

This sounds like a snide comment along the lines of the guy above Yes it is. I've been lurking and reading for a long time but this thread is my first time posting

Okay, electrician has come and gone. He was very nice and even offered to walk me through it if I wanted to do it myself and in a nutshell basically stated what you guys said above. I had already purchased wiring, the breaker box, the breakers and the outlets. My mother decided she wanted to...

I will say that I know for certain I won't want (need) any 120v outlets near the new 240v outlets. The rest of the garage is already outfitted with multiple 120v outlets and the garage has been essentially "designed" around the current 240v outlet. That is why, though it may sound odd, I want...

Yes my need is ONLY for 240. These outlets will literally only be powering my compressor, lift, welder, and plasma cutter. It would never even occur to me to try to use these outlets for 120 and I didn't even know that was a "thing" until I was reading about it this afternoon. I'm glad you...

No, as stated above I went into the attic last night and it's not in conduit. It is strung up out of harms way, so to speak, but not in conduit. I can add that though - like I said, I want to do this properly. Is #2 proper for acting as the "feeder" to my new breaker box in the garage?

I forgot to post two pictures of the wiring I took last night in the attic. Looking at these pictures now I think my 1/2" estimate is off and I may be remembering them thicker than they were. The sheathing on these wires is not very thick though and the actual stranded copper diameter is at...

I will try to get an exact gauge on the wiring tonight. Like I said in my post above each wire is at least 1/2" on the actual copper part IIRC. Okay I misunderstood then. So then ultimately there will be one "line" in the attic (when I say one "line" I really mean the four wires) connecting...

Yes the pic I attached is what I tentatively referred to as subpanel because I knew no other proper term for it. Thanks for clarifying. What I stated above is the entirety of the labeling on the wiring. I would say each of the three wires feeding the fusible disconnect have a diameter of about...

The garage panel box is fed by three wires, 2 black and a white. The black wiring says "type thw - phelps dodge - s - habidure - 2 - 600 V - (UL)" on them. The white wire says "general cable m 2 type thw 600v" on it. Is this no longer copacetic? Like I said, I believe this must be at least 30...

I currently have one 240 volt outlet with breaker panel in attached garage that serves as my "shop". My father installed this at least 30+ years ago. My father has been deceased for 13 years now but my twin brother and I have been using this outlet continuously for all of our automotive...
